ABSTRACT:
A method for communicating a plurality of data streams between a transmitting device with multiple transmit antennas and a receiving device, is disclosed. The method comprises determining a list consisting of a subset of the multiple transmit antennas on which the transmitting device will transmit data, determining a set of power weightings, providing the set of power weightings and the list of the subset of the multiple transmit antennas to the transmitting device, weighting a plurality of data streams by the power weightings, and transmitting the power weighted data streams on the subset of the multiple transmit antennas to the receiving device. Another aspect of the invention comprises maintaining a codebook consisting of a plurality of transmit weight vectors at both the transmitting device and the receiving device. The method also comprises determining a list consisting of a subset of the plurality of transmit weight vectors which to use for transmitting the multiple data streams, determining a set of power weightings to be use for each data stream, providing the set of power weightings and the list of the subset of the plurality of transmit weight vectors to the transmitting device, and weighting the data streams by the power weightings and beamforming the data streams with the subset of the plurality of transmit weight vectors.
